You can blame the government as much as you like, but this is actually has to do with british nature, they have an obsessive need for control, and if you worked with some you will immediately notice how they will try to make all sort of policies and shit to control the other party, all while they pretend they are open about hearing other’s opinions. So it kinda backfired, what goes around comes around.
- codeduck 7mo agoFunny; as a Brit I'd say the above is a classic hallmark of American companies. Brits are masters of malicious compliance.
- JimDabell 7mo ago> Brits are masters of malicious compliance. My favourite example of this was when Thatcher passed a law banning the broadcast of Sinn Féin. The BBC responded by dubbing the audio with actors’ voices. So you would watch the news and see an interview with Gerry Adams, but you would be hearing an actor speak his words, meaning the BBC were complying with the law by not broadcasting his voice.
- zimpenfish 7mo ago> The BBC responded by dubbing the audio with actors’ voices. Don't forget the cherry on top - an actor who sounded exactly like Gerry Adams / whoever.
- Anthony-G 7mo agoThat would be the fabulous stage, screen and voice actor, Stephen Rea.
- subscribed 7mo agoWell, now BBC is the far right megaphone / government propaganda outlet so that wouldn't happen today...
